Wis, gave it more nearly correct than any
other comrade. To be exact, however, the
writer says the brigade first consisted of the
| 18th NO., 47th ILL.,. 9Th Wis. and Goth Ill. In
the Spring of 1862, in front of Corinth, the

rade Ferguson was correct. The First Division
| of the Fifth Corps was engaged twice at Hatch
er's Run. The first was on Oct. % and 2S, 1864,
and again March 25 1866. The First Division
was not engaged in the fight at Dinwiddie
Courthouse, and the engagement at Gravel
Creek was on the 3lst of March, instead of the
30th, 1865.
VIM. Edmonds, Co. G, 18th w. Va, says the
comrades who boast so much about planting
] flags on forts aud houses do not consider
the fact that had it not been for other regiments
which were with them, they would not have
done much in the way of flag planting
Ii. o. Fuller, Co. III, 12Sth Ind, Little River,
Kan, says that large number of farmers of
that vicinity have been swindled by parties
| purporting to represent the Great Western
| Medical Institute at Kansas City, holding out
| great inducements for medical treatment. The
victims were induced to sign notes for $3.50
| each. These notes were discounted at bank,
and the makers forced to pay them without
| having received penny of consideration.
